My original idea was to have this old abandoned mine in this area, but now I'm not sure I want it at all.  It's been sitting there for quite a while now.  It  has to be improved!

 Show me something else you'd like to improve.

This shot happens to have metal, plus a partial on a covered hopper.

 I need to improve this scene.

Show me something you wish to improve.

I don't know what a gain car is, so here are grain cars.

Show me a pellet hopper or any late 20th century hopper.

Show me something - April / May 2012 Edition
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, April 1, 2012 2:31 AM

Although this thread has lost some of its past momentum, it´ll be nice to see some of your great work this month also.

Here are the rules:

In this thread a person asks to see something, related to model railroading of course, and the first person to respond by posting a picture that contains what the person asks for then immediately says "Show Me Something"..................

That person can ask to see, for example, a certain color.. or a shape such as something round or square. They could ask to see something patriotic, or something angry or happy or sad. They may ask to see something educational or inspiring or scary. The request should be one word, such as "Show Me Something Humorous"

Participants in the thread should give others a chance to join in. For instance, let several requests/replies go by before jumping back in after you've participated UNLESS the thread drops off the first or second page and you'd like to bring it back. In that case it would be fine to answer again.

Please..., NO LINKS to a picture on another website somewhere. The answer MUST be posted in your reply. If a participant does that it should be ignored and another person can reply.

There may be times when two or more people reply at the same time. Any reply should be done to the FIRST person.

Due to the lack of momentum, we should be a little lighter on the 1-hour rule this time.

The last request was for a team track.
